[quote=Anonymous]Hi! My husband and I are both DC natives, we moved to the beach a few years ago and are moving back with our sons, 7 and 9. We are looking in Chevy Chase but I've heard Lafayette is quite a strict school, ie: no putting your head down when you're writing, silent lunch, kids have to be very quiet and stay in line in the hallways, etc. My sons currently attend a public Montessori, so they have a lot of freedom of movement, topics are largely a discussion as opposed to teacher asking and kids raising their hands, learning is through projects or experience and not just workbooks, etc. My kids have no behavioral issues but like most little boys, they're wiggly and need redirection when it comes to focusing. Would really appreciate any info anyone has! We're also considering Murch and Janney. PS - anyone know how these schools teach? Is it mostly worksheets and technology or it is more hands on exploration and projects?[/quote]
